How can I move to Canada from UK?
Hi everyone, Im 25 years old and currently not working, Im in the UK and single. I was working in the fitness industry but the place went out of business
My question is I have a british passport, born in the UK, Im wondering if I could move to Canada? I have uncles and aunts in Toronto they have lived in Canada for many many years. Montreal is also another place where I have an Aunt
So any advice for me people? I want to get out off the city im in now its in the east midlands and the situation looks dire
Thanks everyone

This can help give you a taste of Canada:
http://www.bunac.org/UK/workcanada/
Would recommend you come over on a trial basis at first as it's not for everyone. I've known some people give up everything in the UK only to head back there after a year or so. Also, if you come on a 1yr open work permit there is the opportunity to find a job with an employer who can sponsor you for permanent residency. I'm afraid your relatives won't be able to sponsor you.
For a permanent move see if you fit into one of the categories listed here:
